Great Film, two words "sea legs"

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2003)

A friend rented this one and brought it over to me a couple months ago. From beginning to end this was a good one. I think that movie fans and music fans alike can enjoy this. For one thing, I used to play the trumpet and still play piano a bit and the way the characters play is amazing. The piano duel is about on par with the famous guitar duel from "Crossroads" (Steve Vai and Ry Cooder). There are a number of good laughs in this too. Particularly the famous gaining the sea legs scene with Max and 1900. That just about had me on the floor laughing. The cigarette on the piano scene was also memorable. The ending was a big tear-jerker though. This is a good film for couples to watch together, just have a box of tissues on standby at the end. I give this one a perfect 10/10 a must rent movie.
